The Mummy star enjoyed a healthy career in the ‘90s and early aughts before plummeting into obscurity — a sudden drop off that has been attributed to his various medical issues, his rocky marriage, or just plain exhaustion.

But looking back, the actor wonders if something else played a part in his downfall: the time he was allegedly groped by the former president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

In a new revealing profile with GQ, Fraser recalled an encounter he had with Philip Berk that, to this day, has left him "frightened."

The incident took place in the summer of 2003 at the Beverly Hills Hotel after a luncheon held by HFPA, the organization that hosts the Golden Globes. Fraser was exiting the hotel when he was hailed by Berk, who reached out to shake the actor's hand.

What happened next has already been told from Berk's point of view — having been detailed in his memoir and reported by Sharon Waxman in The New York Times – that the former HFPA president pinched Fraser's ass in jest.

But the way Fraser tells it, Berk's hands were much more violating than a pinch. He claims:

That's right — the reviews are being unwrapped for The Mummy reboot, and critics are burying the blockbuster alive for being stale, predictable, or, as Indiewire's David Enrlich put it, "the worst movie Tom Cruise has ever made." Ouch!

The professionals aren't the only ones who think The Mummy should have been locked in the tombs of 1999 along with Brendan Fraser (that's where he's been this whole time!) — Twitter users who saw an early screening were equally as disappointed.

It's been reported that to help launch its new era of monster films, Universal is rebooting The Mummy!

And according to Variety, Tom Cruise is in talks to star in the leading role!

Last summer, the studio assembled a team of Star Trek producer Alex Kurtzman and Furious 7 writer Chris Morgan to develop a multi-film universe where Universal's classic monster movie library can be resurrected!

The studio is trying to develop a Marvel or DC Comics style universe for its famous characters — but instead of Iron Man and Thor, it will be Dracula, Frankenstein's monster, and The Wolf Man!

So basically, Universal's answer to The Avengers films is the cast of Hotel Transylvania? LOLz!

As for The Mummy reboot, Cruise will reportedly play a major part in development of the revival. The plot is still under wraps (get it?) other than that it will be set in present day, not like the previous Brendan Fraser-led installments!

Are YOU excited for classic movie monsters to make their way back to the big screen?

The Mummy actor had previously filed documents in court asking to reduce the $50,000 in alimony Brendan owes his ex wife Afton Fraser every month. The actor claims he's $87,000 "in the red" every month because he's not working a lot lately.

Some go broke after a bad business deal, like Kim Basinger. Others shell-out big bucks to ex-wives and child support bills, like Brendan Fraser. And some just plain over spend! Please Hammer, Don't Hurt 'Em buy any more jewelry!

But for many on this list, their trip to the poor house didn't last forever! Some were able to climb out of the red and back into the black…leather seats of a luxury car!

As we previously reported, Britney Spears' baby daddy has requested an increase in his $20K a month child support stipend. While it's said that Godney isn't THRILLED at the request, she's letting her poppa negotiate a deal with KFed.

And it appears that negotiations are well under way, though Mr. Spears is NOT impressed with his former son-in-law!
